Are the wheels for the BTR-60PB the same as the wheels on the BTR-60P? I just ordered the Trumpeter BTR-60PB from Model Hobbies UK and was thinking about ordering the ET Model wheels for it, but they are made for the BTR-60P. Thanks

EDIT : my bad ! The one in the first picture above is not a BTR-60P. Here's one :

On a side note, I've noticed that BTR-60s (whatever the variant) are sometimes fitted with a different (early ?) type of wheels without "ribs" on the hub :

As far as I know, BTR-60PB and the other variants has new tyres.
The two Trumpeter kits have different patterns. What is for sure that all the "PB" and command post versions I have seen use different tyres than those included in the "P" kit.

Adam

You're must be right Adam, I had focused on the rim types, not the tires
